Hi everyone--
i just became a member of this site.
Funny thing is I was reading your posts
for a wk. Then I had one of my "spells"
and ended up in the er for hurting myself
and ended up with 12
stitches...Anyways...They petitioned me to
the local mental health hospital where I
stayed for 3 nights. I must say it was
an interesting experience. I was on a
unit intended for people suffering from ed
(eating disorders) and sirs (self injury
recovery services). It was almost like
being back in elementary
school..Elementary school for crazies. I
felt like I was in a crazy house, I guess
essentially I was. However, it must have
been the most calming, therepeutic three
days of my life. I since then decided to
join. I feel that these forums are the
closest thing to the comfort I felt there.
They are the only place where I feel I
am not alone with my disorders. I am 23
and part of my release required that I set
up an appt with both a phsychiatrist and
therapist which I have done. I would
love to hear from some of the regulars on
this site as I will be posting often and
hope to get to know some of you. I am
always open to suggestions for coping and
will be happy to share my experiences as
well as suggestions and new information I
gain through my therapy...Oh
yeah...Currently I take 30 mg of prozac a
day to treat my depression.
